Party Time!

Laissez les bon temps rouler — “Let the good times roll” is the motto for the city of New Orleans

Let’s do this — Happy Mardi Gras, everybody!

P.S. Mama said to tell y’all her concert went beautifully! Even the video portions, which she’d had her doubts about. They were informative and tasteful, and folks seemed thrilled with the performance. It was great learning about the unsung heroes of the space program, such as the African-American women coders who helped put man on the moon, self-taught female programmer Margaret Hamilton (credited with designing software to prevent a last-minute abort of the landing), and a tribute to American and Soviet astronauts who died in the line of duty.

Thank you, Miss Katybeth! Every so often, Mama listens to expert advice (like what you gave her about getting me to pose). When she does, it’s amazing how much smoother the process goes — and how much better the results are!!

What a great photo of Dallas, ready to party! How you managed that photo I can’t imagine, it but it’s great fun. I’m glad to hear the concert went well, too. Will there be any videos of it online? I’d love to see a portion of it.

Mr. John, I’m surprised you don’t have a bucket full of beads (like Mama does!) And doubloons, too. I’ve never been to a Mardi Gras parade, but Mama was in one years ago and had a blast! Thanks for rooting for my mama’s concert — despite the snow and cold, a lot of people showed up.

So glad you like my photo, Mr. Ron. Aw, if I could blush, I would!
Mama said her concert was fun once they got started. She was pretty nervous before because we had a lot of snow earlier in the day. Sure wish she could find a link to share it with y’all.
Hope you enjoyed your Fat Tuesday! xx

Oh Tommy and Tuppence, I’m thrilled you like my Mardi Gras party attire! Mama thinks I look quite regal draped in all that purple. Who knew purple would be such a good color for me?!? Yes, her concert was great, or so she said. I, of course, didn’t get to go, sadly!!

Irish Blessing:

Whenever I dream, It seems I dream
Of Erin's rolling hills.
Of all its lovely, shimmery lakes
And little babbling rills.
I hear a colleen's lilting laugh
Across a meadow fair,
And in my dreams it almost seems
To me that I am there.
O, Ireland! O, Ireland!
We're never far apart,
For you and all your beauty
Fill my mind and touch my heart.

The great advantage of being a writer is that you can spy on people. You’re there, listening to every word, but part of you is observing. Everything is useful to a writer, you see—every scrap, even the longest and most boring of luncheon parties. ~Graham Greene
